BTW - I would start from a generic kernel configuration if you don't remember what you did. Then, make the necessary changes to the copy of GENERIC, and go from there. Then, rebuild the kernel - it probably isn't necessary, but it will at least return your kernel to something closer to the baseline. The card is a generic PCI card, it's labeled Mercury on the box, and has a Sun chip on it. I see it's detected as a Dolphin card, and I _assume_ that is correct. The weirdness with it being COM5 and COM6 had to do with weirdness in my kernel conf file. I suspect the problem is that I need to pass certain flags in the kernel conf, but I don't know which ones. The good news is, after having spent a couple of days fighting this, and getting to the point I was locking up the computer with it, it dawned on me that I had started out there. So I went back and found out that I probably had the IO address for the on-board CO1 chip wrong originally. Now it seems to be working, which will let me deploy the machine! Thanks for your help on this. I still plan on putting the PCI card in another machine and trying to get it to work, but that may take a while to get to. -- They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Am I understnading you to say that I don't need any (nonstandard) sio entries in my kernel config file? If that's the case, I must have a basic misunderstanding (which is certainly possible). I thought the puc driver was a bridge driver that allowed the sio driver(s) to be connected to serial ports on PCI based cards. Is this incorect?

RE: Help PLEASE! on proper kernel config file to use serial portswith puc driver
All you need in your kernel config is 'device puc'. You already appear to have this in your config, as your system detected the adapter. You will have to sh MAKEDEV cuaan (where 0 n NUM_PORTS) to get the device nodes in your /dev directory. Alternately, since they have sequential minor numbers, you can make them yourself. 'mknod cuaa0 c 28,128 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa1 c 28,129 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa2 c 28,130 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa3 c 28,131 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa4 c 28,131 root:wheel' 'mknod cuaa5 c 28,131 root:wheel' You can also do this for the ttyd/ld/id nodes as well. I prefer making the nodes myself, but the MAKEDEV script will do the same thing. Good luck, Seth Henry OK, I've spent all night complaining kernels with no luck. I've read the man page for puc, I've read the man page for sio, I've looked at the code for puc, I've searched d Googlee, and STILL I can't get sio devices assigned to my PCI serial port card. It's detected as: puc0: Dolphin Peripherals 4036 port 0xfce0-0xfcff irq 11 at device 6.0 on pci0 sio4: type 16550A sio5: type 16550A But I feel certain I don't have the correct syntax in my kernel conf file for the sio ports I want to assign to this. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
